Currently, there is no support in the mainline kernel for the i.MX8.
Do you mean to say that this feature is blocked until the i.MX8 is
supported in the mainline kernel? Or that we would be required to add
the register definitions for the i.MX8 as a prerequisite? Wouldn't it
make more sense to add support to the driver as part of the i.MX8
enablement, especially considering no documentation is freely
available at this time?

I have not seen the reference manual, so I'm not sure if it's in there
or not. However, if the i.MX6 manual is any indication, I'm not
certain it will be documented anyway.

How do we unblock this issue? We currently have hardware that cannot
meet specifications without this feature, and based on the app note
from NXP, I'm certain plenty of other people do as well.

Thank you,
